Matt Belloni is one of the most obnoxious hosts I’ve ever had the misfortune of listening to. Just listen to his interview on Apple TV and how he continues to shout at the guest for no logical reason. You can be a hostile interviewer and still show decorum - not shouting every 5 seconds and refusing to let the guest speak. This will be the last episode I listen to.
Love show…but how dumb to encourage a leader who renames a department the department of WAR. Then uses the national guard to
Terrorize US cities. Please ask Ari about that and PEACE!! Pathetic
It’s so consistent that it’s weird. Such a shame.
Interesting insider industry info without humanitarian empathy or creative insight. I generally walk away from listening to this feeling down about the horridness of people. The best episodes are when he has guests who call him out.
My favourite one that talks about film
